Flow cytometric analysis of IL-17F expression by resting and activated human peripheral blood CD4+ T cells and Th17 polarized cells. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were either unstimulated (Left Panels) or stimulated with Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA; Sigma P-8139, 50 ng/ml) plus Ionomycin (Sigma I-0634, 1 µg/ml) in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ Protein Transport Inhibitor (Cat. No. 554724) for 5 hours (Middle Panels) or cultured in Th17 polarization conditions and restimulated with PMA and Ionomycin in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ for 5 hours (Right Panels). Cells were then fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ reagents (Cat. No. 554714) followed by staining with BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse anti-Human IL-17F (Cat. No. 561338/561337), PerCP-Cy5.5 Mouse anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 341654), FITC Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ (Cat. No. 554700) and Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Human IL-17A (Cat. No. 560490). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression patterns of IL-17F versus IL-17A or IFN-γ were derived from CD4+ gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System. Other compatible fixation and permeabilization treatments are listed in the \"Recommended Assay Procedure.\"

Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
This antibody conjugate is suitable for intracellular staining of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ reagents or BD™ Phosflow fixation and permeabilization buffers (Fix buffer I with Perm/Wash Buffer I, Perm Buffer II, or Perm Buffer III).
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- BD Horizon V450 has a maximum absorption of 406 nm and maximum emission of 450 nm. Before staining with this reagent, please confirm that your flow cytometer is capable of exciting the fluorochrome and discriminating the resulting fluorescence.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The O33-782 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Interleukin-17F (IL-17F). IL-17F is a member of the IL-17 family of cytokines. IL-17F is encoded by the IL17F gene located in chromosome 6 (location: 6p12). IL-17F is a proinflammatory cytokine that is produced by activated T cells including differentiated CD4+ T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Activated Th17 cells can express disulfide-linked IL-17F and IL-17A homodimers as well as IL-17A/IL-17F heterodimers. These IL-17 dimers act by binding to and signaling through IL-17 receptor complexes (IL-17R). IL-17R are comprised of transmembrane IL-17RA and IL-17-RC protein subunits that are expressed by a variety of target cells including epithelial and endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and granulocytes. IL-17F can induce target cells to produce proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, G-CSF, GM-CSF, and TNF and chemokines including CXCL1/Gro-α, CXCL2/Gro-β, and CXCL8/IL-8 that attract and activate leukocytes, eg, neutrophils. Th17 and other IL-17F-producing cells play protective roles in the clearance of extracellular pathogens, including bacteria and fungi. IL-17F can also play adverse roles in inflammation associated with asthma and autoimmune diseases.
The antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon V450, which has been developed for use in multicolor flow cytometry experiments and is available exclusively from BD Biosciences. It is excited by the Violet laser Ex max of 406 nm and has an Em Max at 450 nm. Conjugates with BD Horizon V450 can be used in place of Pacific Blue™ conjugates.
